Answer:

Pythagorean Thereom is the method in which finds the lengths of each side of a triangle. The formula is
a^(2) +
b^(2) =
c^(2)

Each letter in the formula defines a certain side of a triangle.

The picture shown shows the sides of each triangle and how they correspond with the formula.

This helps solve triangles to find its sum, as well as, to figure out a side depending on what is given.
